Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9812827A1] A method and circuit for deriving a set of multichannel audio signals (10) from a conventional monaural or stereo audio signals (1) uses an auxiliary multichannel spectral mapping data steam (90,92). Audio can be played back in stereo and multichannel formats from a conventional stereo signal (40) on compact discs (88), FM radio, or other stereo or monaural delivery systems (5). The invention reduces the data rate needed for the transmission of multichannel digital audio.
